Prior to the construction of Roper Hall, UNC medical students trained in Berryhill Hall, which previously stood on the same space off South Columbia Street and opened in 1970. In 2016, North Carolinians approved the Connect NC bond, from which $68 million would be allotted to help fund the new medical education building. Construction on the 172,000 square-foot structure began in early 2020, with many generous donors also contributing funds to shape the facility’s resources for student learning, connection and well-being.
The new building opened in September 2023.
